Opinion on this Saginaw

I've been watching this auction and was wondering what others think. Is this a real find or a restoration?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I vote resto. I see parkerized pitting in the trigger housing, dents in the stock wood going under the buttplate (but a pristine buttplate), what appears to be barrel band marking on the stock's nose, ...

Could be wrong though

I also noticed the rough edges on the stock that did not correspond to any marks on the butt plate. I guess that is a sure indicator.

Does the cartouche look legit? The CC looks a little off.

I questioned the darkness in the guide way.
